The cool parts of a good movie, reproduced (and edited to be era-nuetral) here, very relevant:

"Treason doth never prosper," wrote an English poet, "What's the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it treason." I believe we have reached a time in our country, similar to what life must've been like under Hitler in the 30s, except we don't realize it because Fascism in our country takes the benign disguise of liberal democracy. "Fascism will come," Huey Long once said. "in the name of anti-fascism" - it will come in the name of your security - they call it "National Security," it will come with the mass media manipulating a clever concentration camp of the mind. The super state will provide you tranquility above the truth, the super state will make you believe you are living in the best of all possible worlds, and in order to do so will rewrite history as it sees fit. George Orwell's Ministry of Truth warned us, "Who controls the past, controls the future." The answer from on high has been "national security." What kind of "national security" do we have when we have been robbed of our leaders? Who determines our "national security"? What "national security" permits the removal of fundamental power from the hands of the American people and validates the ascendancy of invisible government in the United States? That kind of "national security," is when it smells like it, feels like it, and looks like it, you call it what it is - Fascism! Someday somewhere, someone might find out the damned Truth. Or we might just build ourselves a new Government like the Declaration of Independence says we should do when the old one ain't working - maybe a little farther out West. An American naturalist wrote, "a patriot must always be ready to defend his country against its government." Going back to when we were children, I think most of us thought that justice came into being automatically, that virtue was its own reward, that good would triumph over evil. But as we get older we know that this just isn't true. "The frontier is where a man faces a fact." Individual human beings have to create justice and this is not easy because truth often presents a threat to power and we have to fight power often at great risk to ourselves. The truth is the most important value we have because if the truth does not endure, if the Government murders truth, then this is no longer the country in which we were born in and this is not the country I want to die in... Show the world this is still a government of the people, for the people, and by the people. Nothing as long as you live will ever be more important. It's up to you.
